Pavithra was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in August. The oncology team at New Delhi University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Pavithra is 37, worked as a primary school teacher until August, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to New Delhi University Hospital 3 times a week, and the income the family has lost add up quickly.
We've already sold what we could and have begun borrowing for groceries. Every kindness from you takes weight off her shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $730
• Scans and lab work: $95
• Transport to New Delhi University Hospital: $130
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $85
• Household costs while unable to work: $160
Thanks for reading all this.

how is Pavithra doing now?
Hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
